I hope you guys had the best Thanksgiving! Tom and I hosted Thanksgiving for the very first time at our apartment yesterday, and somehow we pulled it off! It was fun playing host and getting to set the menu and design a tablescape. But man is it tiring! Every time I entertain, I think very highly of my friends who constantly put together dinner parties. You all are the real MVPs!

Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, I’m sharing some of my favorite Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales of the weekend! I’ll be updating this list as news of more sales come in, so keep checking back for deals. There are some seriously amazing deals happening over the next few days, so make sure to pick up gifts for all of your loved ones (and yourself!)

Holiday Gift Guide: Top 12 Best Hostess Gifts

Holiday Gift Guide: Top 12 Best Hostess Gifts featured by top US life and style blogger, Alicia Tenise.

Ever since I moved from an apartment into a home, I realized wow: hosting parties can be crazy expensive. From the food to the home decor to the serving trays and barware, you need a lot of things to make a party or a get-together a major success. After hosting a few shindigs in my new home this year, I really empathize with all of the hosts and hostesses out there! 

If you’re heading to a few holiday parties this year at someone else’s home, you should bring something. My default gift is wine. However, your host would also probably love it if you brought a little something for their home!

Here are a few of the best  hostess gifts that anyone would love!

** THIS SHOPBOP BIG EVENT SALE POST WAS UPDATED: 9/25/19

Guys: I don’t write about sales that often. But, this Shopbop Sale is really good, and I shop it every time it comes around. Behold: the Shopbop Event of the Season Sale.

One of the reasons why I love Shopbop is because of the variety of products they offer: from budget-friendly brands such as Moon River, English Factory, and Wayf, to my mid-high end designer favorites, there’s always a million things that I want to add to my cart at Shopbop. This Shopbop sale is amazing because you get 20% off all orders under $500, and 25% off all orders above $500. So you could totally get 25% off that Tory Burch purse you’ve been eyeing, or those Hunter Boots that have been on your wishlist since forever.

Here are a few items that I already own that are on sale at the moment:
